Medieval European Hammered Coin

4 posts
Can't make out enough details and I have been out of the hobby for too long.

I think I can make out a king on one side, and a cross, shield and some animals on the other.

Weight: 2.37 g
Composition: Silver, (cleaned).




Edit: I think I have a match: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces45877.html

Can someone confirm?
I think you're very close. The design is a good match, but it looks to me like some of the writing doesn't match. I would look at trams from Cilician Armenia from rulers just before and after this one.
Okay, after trying to declipper Armenian writing, I am thinking it is Levon I.

It seems like numista doesn't record the different types of this coin, as the writing seems to be in a slightly different style. Can anyone comment?
We never had a specialist in that type of coinage. Please note that these coins do not even have catalogue reference.

If you have any information about different variations, I will be happy to validate it or even add it myself. For now, you can of course add your coin to the line which is already there with comment that your variety differs from one we have pictured.
